Do they even have an alchemizer? I figure if one was available the whole "Dark Carnival" incident would have been quietly sidestepped.

Is that everything you have?

Yeah, I think just nobody thought to alchemize slime for Gamzee and he wasn't in the state of mind to medicate himself. Or maybe they didn't have the code for it.

Even if they did, wasn't it Equius who told Gamzee to stop eating the slime?

Honestly, I think him flipping out means that he's finally regained his composure. It's when he stops drowning everyone in a torrent of disgruntled verbiage that something is seriously wrong.

I dunno, he was kind of flipping out too. He's been pretty much constantly flipping out. It's his coping mechanism. Doesn't mean it works.

It's kind of obvious he blames both himself and everyone else that this poo poo happened. Kind of hard to blame him (:v: ) for that. SO MUCH MURDER.

My people I bring you a message from the Lord!
Karkat raging against the heavens is his normal mode, this is a kind of signal that things have finally calmed down enough for him to yell about how dumb his friends are, instead of how murderous they are. And other than Gamzee the trolls that are left are pretty reasonable and murder-free! And I think Karkat learned his lesson in regards to Gamzee, so he probably won't kill anyone else.

But yeah Karkat screwed up a lot, but he's equivalent to a 13-year-old, he was given way more responsibility than was reasonable. He's just the only one, it seems, who's really realized this, if only because he's so keen on hating himself.

I'm pretty sure he has more of a role to play in things to come, he'll have his chance to be a hero yet.

(also of all the surviving trolls, he's the only one who hasn't killed anyone ever. He's just such a human)

I get the feeling Hussie basically just decided he didn't actually want all of the trolls continuing on and is going to now remove even more trolls. Gamzee and Kanaya will kill each other off, leaving us with only the two principal trolls making the journey or something.

If he wanted to kill Kanaya off, then why revive her in the first place? Reviving her just so she could help Jade discover the final frog feels like she's being underused. I could see her being used to help get a new Matriorb and set the stage for the post-New Kids planet having trolls on it. I'm not surprised he's dumping Sollux, though.

You know, I wonder if the fact that Gamzee has been storing everyone's body in jars will end up being significant. Like... that every dead troll is canned. Be it for ectobiology or some kind of hero power or weird troll reproduction or WHAT.

Possibly. We've yet to really see any blood powers from Karkat and he was also the ectobiology guy in their session.

I don't think he's dumping anyone. Aradia will continue to fill the same behind-the-scenes-yet-important role she was playing as a psychopomp. Sollux will just now be her little buddy. They're turning into a tag-team Grim Reaper duo and it's wonderful.

I'm pretty sure he's not going to kill off Kanaya here. I'd be surprised if he killed Gamzee off but maybe. I don't think he ever intended to wipe out all the trolls and the constant suggestions are getting a little tiresome!

Has Karkat ever whispered in lower case like that before? I can't remember if that is a thing he has ever done or whether he's just that unhappy with this whole situation.

I'd be pretty surprised if either Kanaya or Gamzee got killed here to be honest. If Gamzee was going to get killed off I don't see much reason to do it now rather than get it over with back during his rampage, since he hasn't done anything since then. Similarly, between the whole elaborate vampire thing to bring her back the first time and the matriorb storyline unfinished, killing off Kanaya now seems somewhat unlikely.

Gamzee still needs to do whatever it is he does that makes him the most important character in all of homestuck.

I don't think that was Gamzee.

Remember how during Cascade it flashed back to that panel and showed Scratch's head where Gamzee's eye was? I think it was supposed to indicate that it was Scratch, maybe? I dunno.

Anyway, Kanaya's the best and okay, I admit it I was a little :allears: while her and Rose were talking. I wouldn't be even a little bit surprised if Kanaya killed Gamzee here. I think if anybody would be unwilling to forgive him for killing Nepeta and Equius, it'd be her.
